Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-02-A-CC-EC-ET-S4-NN-FW is a drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. It regulates three-phase motors in modular production cells, packaging machinery, and material-handling lines. Positioned in the HCS01 line, the unit bridges higher-level PLC commands to motor windings and provides closed-loop torque and speed control. In an IndraDrive automation architecture, it serves as the link between controller-level motion commands and the electrical output applied to the motor. The controller is suited to axes that need regulated acceleration, speed holding, and controlled response to changing loads.

The device accepts a mains supply of 3 × AC 110 to 230 V ±10% and can supply up to 18 A of peak current to the connected axis. Heat is removed by internal air cooling through an integrated blower, so the unit does not depend on cabinet airflow for normal thermal management. The housing has an IP20 rating for personnel protection and basic dust shielding. Motion and diagnostic data are exchanged over a SERCOS III master channel, which also supports cross-communication between drives. Motor feedback connects to the first encoder port for IndraDyn Hiperface/EnDat signals, while the second communication slot provides MultiEthernet connectivity for fieldbus integration. The peak current capacity supports short acceleration demands on dynamic axes without requiring a larger controller. Using separate feedback and network interfaces lets the unit handle motor position data and plant communication at the same time.

The controller uses the ADVANCED control section and is design version 1. Power is managed through an infeeding and fed supply concept that allows energy sharing across the DC bus. That layout is useful in multi-axis systems where recovered energy from one axis can be available to another axis on the same DC bus. The unit uses the standard configuration without extra integrated options.
